Specialized material handling subsidiary opens in Dubai

PM Group, a subsidiary of cranes provider Manitex International Inc., has opened a new subsidiary, PM Middle East, in the Jebel Ali Free Zone in Dubai, strengthening its presence in the region.

 

PM Middle East will directly operate in the Middle East and East African markets through a team of experienced professionals in the lifting sector bringing sales, marketing and service support to local customers and providing a comprehensive portfolio of brands including Manitex, Valla, Oil & Steel and Badger. The opening in the Middle East, our 10th international sales and distribution facility, further expands PMs global presence into an important geographic market, joining other active PM subsidiaries located in Europe (Spain, France, England, Germany), Far East (Singapore) and Latin America (Argentina, Chile, Mexico). 

 

The expansion of PM into this new region, provides Manitex with the opportunity to aggressively push into new markets and reach new customers with all of its products. 

 

"PM sales to the Middle East were sharply higher this year, and our strengthening presence there should enable continued future growth in that region. A key objective we had in making this acquisition last year was to leverage PMs growing international presence to cross-sell our products throughout the world, and we look forward to seeing this through and positioning our company for a future of diversified growth," said David J. Langevin, Chairman and CEO of Manitex.
